The poems of Company navigate misperception, memory, and threat while engaging with an electrifying sense of possibility:
"What I want is you to see
what is backlit, behind me.
Not the silhouette--
but the negative space
I make blocking light."
Ross's book is sensual, political, ghostly, and frank; what a close friend or beguiling stranger might whisper in your ear in the corner of a crowded party to make you say, "Tell me more."
